A friend - I was living with Matt Damon at the time - went in to audition for To Die For. When he met Gus, he recommended me and my brother. Because the story was about Pam Smart and set in New England, and we knew those kinds of kids and high schools and the whole accent and style.

I once came out of the hotel, and Brad Pitt was in front of me. There were all these fans out there and he walked out. I knew they were going to yell or something, but then they all just dropped down and died on the ground. Like 400 girls just simultaneously fell on the ground and died.

I'm not that into the fake meat anymore. The familiar texture makes the transition from meat to soy and wheat products easier, but it's kind of limiting. There are lots of great ways to prepare meatless dishes without simulating meat.

In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.

My mom still eats meat. I will encourage her when it's appropriate to not eat meat. In fact, when we sit down at a table to eat, I don't hesitate to tell her how gross eating meat seems just as often as she nags me about my driving when we are in a car together.
